Book on puberty for girls

6 replies

I am looking for a book for my 9 year old dd that explains about puberty and periods. I have seen loads of books but they all seem to either a)talk about sex too which I don't want at the moment, or b)talk about girls starting to look like 'babes' which I think is totally inappropriate.

Any ideas?

My DD has What's Happening To Me? but I've taped the mastabation pages up

you can look inside the book

I think the Usborne 'what's happening to me 'book is a good one for a nine and ten year old, and I wouldn't tape up the pages on masturbation!

I think it is all done in a good age appropriate way.

Interested in this thread?

Oh look I can't spell I usually just say wank

But that's just the point - I don't want anything on sex/masturbation etc, just the facts about puberty.

I really don't see how you can talk about puberty without referring to sex. Puberty is the changes that take place to prepare the body for reproduction - how can you talk about something that is happening to your body without also talking about why it is happening???
